Californian Supreme Court Upholds Prop 8 – Partially
Bad news from California, Prop 8 stands but the 18,000 same-sex marriages entered into before the election remain valid. The ruling went 6-1. Demonstrations are already happening and it looks like this will be the launch of a movement to overturn the change at the next election. This time the campaign will focus on bringing people of faith as well as Blacks and Latinos. There’s also talk of a campaign to recall the six judges who voted for inequality (the Supreme Court is elected and can be recalled by the people). The momentum is with equality and hopefully they can build a strong campaign to undo this injustice.
